I have noticed you had posted a few posts about puppies not shutting down and named it New Bug in Puppy. Did you install the shutdown application in each of these puppies?

Might be Ok since puppies usually do not have a shutdown gui. But LazY Puppy has got one and it's especially configured to let you unload loaded sfs before shutting down the computer. Either manually selected or automatically all sfs files.

Also its gui changes options as a matter on the fact if you are using a save file or if not using a save file. So you will have a menu if you are using a save file and have made frugal install on usb. Then you can select from the menu, if you want to shutdown/restart either saving session to save file or not to save.

It's well configured and thought out, so there is no need to install/use any other shutdown gui - except: you want to crash the LazY Puppy.

Image shows gui without using a save file.

Seems like you have installed some shutdown application and therefor destroyed the LazY Puppy shutdown functions.

LP2-SFS-AutoScript-Update-01a.pet has been updated. I have had overseen that ImageMagick is still built in. So there is no need to load the sfs and show messages on that action. Sorry.

EDIT:

LazY Puppy MMS Pro Build 0.0.6 = 114MB ISO & 109MB SFS!

Hi.

I have hurt my fingers, so i could not play the drums yesterday. I did use the free time to make an update of the LazY Puppy RunScript-Builder (SFS-AutoScript). It is now possible to create automatically RunScripts from SFS-Files in a directory by only one single right-click on the directory - the sfs files have to be already converted to LazY Puppy. I have created RunScripts from 202 SFS-Files in one directory.

Install the .pet, do a right-click on the directory containing the sfs files and choose LP2-SFS-AutoScript-(Batch). Then drink some coffee.

It saves now its preferences in a file so the batch function runs using the same preferences for all sfs files.

To set the preferences in front of running the batch function, do a right-click on a sfs file, set your preferences and close the gui. Preferences are always saved.

It has a new parameter to let an sfs only load and run at pupmode 5 (no save file - i need and use this for GIMP 2.7.3)

I have renamed/translated all entries in /root/.config/rox.sourceforge.net/OpenWith in my private version of LazY Puppy. To make it a bit easier and more comfortable i did wrote a program for this kind of work.

You like to switch between different Desktop Icon Themes (Icon Switcher) and/or Window Managers (WM Switcher)?

What would you say, to be able to switch between different System Sound Themes?

Here comes the SoundSwitcher-0.1.

It can be used in LazY Puppy as well as in other Puppies (if the directory /usr/share/audio and its containing Sound Files are available).

The attached .pet (which you can find here) installs SoundSwitcher-0.1 and three different System Sound Themes. Theme 1 is the Lucid Puppy Sound Theme, Theme 2 is the LazY Puppy Sound Theme (taken from my private Version of LazY Puppy) and Theme 3 is an empty Theme to set no sounds for use (i like it that way most).

You can find these Themes and/or install your own user defined Sound Themes in /usr/share/audio-themes. After changing a Sound Theme, you can play the file 2barks.au from within the gui, to hear immediately to what you have changed the sounds.

Hope you like it.

Hi.

After posting my previous post i did just surf around the forum awhile and then did found a very useful script by stu90.

As always it is "only" a script, which means, you have to save it somewhere and execute it by clicking on the script or using the terminal.

As always i did learn from scripts by stu90 and so i did learn again from this script.

I could not resist to do some work on this script - even though i do not use other puppies and there would be less need for me to use this script (but i found it very very useful).

I did made several changes and modifications and rewrote some parts as well - and so by now it

- has a complete new created GUI
- has a menu entry (in menu utility)
- is localized (de & en)
- does not longer stuck on /mnt/home
- gives option to add menu entry for Grub4DOS
- can handle path names with spaces
- can be choosed which files to install (all files or just the needed ones)
- can send menu.lst to defaulttexteditor to edit after adding menu entry

AFI-1.0 lets you do a frugal install of any puppy you want to by grabbing the files from a iso file.

Thanks for uploading the drum track. John Stanier from Battles is probably my favourite drummer.

I did never hear from John Stanier but will have a look.

There are lots of great drummers to watch on youtube. Some of them do not only drumming but doing fantastic stuff with the arms/sticks while drumming. I would recommend to search for Steve Moore (Video: Sharp Dressed Man). The camera guy just wanted to set the focus on the guitar player (the solo) but did see then it could be more interesting to keep the focus on the drummer - and he was right!

So, guitarists, bass players and singers as well are just posers. The pianists and keyboarders are just hooked on the place. But the drummers are always the workers! And there is not much more fun than to watch great guys working!

But, hey! What do i say. You are on the puppy linux forum and so you should know this already!

Ok.

It is done.

The drumming room is prepared to set up the drum-kit and to get everything connected like microphones, mixer, computer and video camera. From now on i am recently DRUMMING.

This might be interesting for LazY Puppy users (but not only) as well.

Thanks to all
